Margaret,

Sorry, I didn't mean to suggest that this information should be ignored.
Indeed, it's important that genealogy programs support evidence citation,
conclusions (proofs), and imprecise data. However, I don't see these things
being directly impacted by the generation of unique identifiers for aiding
database synchronization.

Jerry, You said you could not answer my question which was:
So how would you enter this very precise information where there are no
specific dates and lots of proof arguments?
I know I am dealing way back in the past but this is the area where
improvement is needed in data bases. Do you just ignore this? Will there be
places to
insert arguments and cite sources for data that cannot be precise but can be

accurate?
